Wilhelm Busch Album für unsere Jugend
An illustrated children's album of comic verse and pictures by the German humorist Wilhelm Busch, published around 1910 by Verlag Max Lazarusson for young readers. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings with caption verse in German, showing exaggerated figures in slapstick scenes such as a tumbling man, a bent-over fellow with a long pole, and a stout figure in a chair. A designer could take their loose, energetic contour lines and bold silhouettes as a model for cartoon-style character work.
